FO: Hats from Vintage Patterns

Apr 19, 2006 4 Replies

Hey Guys,



A while back I posted about my windfall of a bunch of vintage pattern books. Well just to test out a pattern or two I made the boys a couple of hats from a Columbia Minerva Beehive pattern book from the 40's. I used Patons Classic Merino. Wanna see?

Hi Hesira,

The hats are beautiful, but I love the models more. Such cute little boys and to wear a winter hat when it's so hot, better reward them for modeling them.

Hugs,

Nora

Thanks Nora and Marie (and the cats)!

You know I reward them everyday for being such sweethearts! #1 really didn't want to pose, but he mustered up a smile for me anyway.

Hesira,

Once again, you blow me away with your BEOOOTEFUL work! The hats are darling ... and like Nora, I enjoy your sweet models just as much as seeing the hats! :o)

Eve :o)

PS - Thought it was cute that you used "aerial view" to show the top of the one ... like you are a GIANT taking the pic! LOL
